#1 New York Times Bestseller — "The most brutally addictive fantasy I've read in a decade!" — Tracy Wolff, #1 NYT Bestselling Author

Twenty-year-old Violet Sorrengail was supposed to enter the Scribe Quadrant, living a quiet life among books and history. Now, on the orders of her legendary mother, the commanding general of Navarre's armies, she must enter the brutal and dangerous Riders Quadrant — where the students who survive bond with war dragons and become the kingdom's most elite warriors. The only problem: most people in Violet's position don't survive.

Everything about the Riders Quadrant is lethal. The training grounds are merciless, the alliances razor-thin, and the enemies both inside and outside the war college walls are willing to kill. But when Violet finds herself drawn to Xaden Riorson — the most powerful and dangerous rider in the quadrant, and the son of a man her mother had executed — their connection threatens to unravel everything she thought she knew about the war she's training to fight, the kingdom she's sworn to protect, and the secrets buried deep within the very walls of Basgiath War College.

A breathtaking blend of military fantasy, dragon lore, sizzling romance, and relentless plot twists, Fourth Wing became one of the most explosive debut fantasy novels in recent memory, igniting a global reading frenzy and spawning a devoted fandom almost overnight. It is the first book in the Empyrean series.
